IT Load
75.3 kW
Facility Load
109.3 kW
Monthly Energy
78663 kWh
Monthly Cost
$9440
Converts device-level assumptions into total facility demand for planning.
Calculates monthly and annual cost using your blended electricity rate.
Provides aggregate amperage guidance for upstream distribution planning.
12 racks, 20 devices/rack, 420W avg, 65% utilization, PUE 1.45:
Facility Load
~108.7 kW
Monthly Cost
~$9.4k
The model converts rack/device power assumptions into IT load, applies redundancy overhead, scales by PUE to estimate facility demand, then computes energy and cost on a 24x7 monthly basis.
it-load-kW = racks × devices × watts × utilizationfacility-load-kW = it-load-kW × redundancy × PUEmonthly-cost = facility-load-kW × 24 × 30 × rateShare it with your infrastructure and platform engineering teams
